apologies
from
Council
Carlisle
I'm,

A
Could
find
that
you've
been
sent
a
copy
of
the
scrutiny
report
that
covers
all
scrutiny
boards
in
terms
of
their
views
on
the
budget,
we
had
asked
for
other
information
in
respect
of
car
parking
charges,
but
that's
no
longer
going
ahead
so
where
so
that
the
officers
have
been
asked
not
to
bother
providing
that
information
now
and
in
terms
of
minute
51
Becky
is
going

meeting
with
Ian
Strickland.
To
pick
up
the
issues
we
raised
about

reporting
as
well.
Anybody
any
other
issues
on
the
minutes.
A
G
Cancer
can
sure,
and
the
section
were
housed
in
homeless.
We
were
supposed
to
get
a
breakdown,
some
more
information.
G
This
is,
it
was
confirmed
that
information
can
be
broken
down
further,
but
we
haven't
receive
that
information
out.
We
absolutely.
A
A
I
would
argue
to
improve
it,
I
don't
know
what
they
think,
but
it
was
the
we
worked
cooperatively
to
bring
things
forward
and
we
asked
for
there
is
to
be
kept
in
the
loop
so
that
they
would
bring
updates
to
us,
and
so
that's
the
first
one
we've
got
so
councilor
Reef.
Do
you
want
to
introduce
this
item
and
then
pass
over
to
Sean
to.
N
Yes,
chair
will
do
thank
you,
so
this
report
provides
an
update
on
progress
with
delivering
the
actions
to
in
the
Leeds
parks
and
green
spaces
strategy,
which
was
originally
published
in
in
February
22.
Following
an
extensive
public
consultation.
The
strategy
sets
out
our
vision
for
lead
city,
council's
parks
and
Countryside
service
to
provide
the
best
parks
and
green
spaces
in
the
UK,
along
with
the
actions
that
will
be
undertaken
by
the
service
delivering
division
over
the
next
10-year
period.
N
To
ensure
the
vision
is
achieved,
eight
priority
areas
were
recognized
and
our
right
land
in
in
the
strategy,
including
health
and
well-being,
climate
and
biodiversity
and
financial
sustainability,
which
links
to
our
three
pillars
of
the
best
city
ambition.
Since
the
publication
of
the
strategy,
the
parks
and
Countryside
service
have
been
focusing
on
the
priorities
and
the
action
set
out
in
in
it
and
outlined
in
the
report.
N
For
me,
some
of
the
highlights
include
the
continued
good
work
with
love,
communities
and
partners,
the
ongoing
improvements
to
parks
and
the
annual
planting
of
50
hectares
of
trees
to
help
tackle
the
climate
emergency
and
significant
investment
in
our
visitor
facilities
across
the
city,
including
Sports
pictures
playgrounds,
visit
attractions
like
home
farm
at
Temple,
Newsome
and
I'll
hand
over
to
Emma
to
talk
us
through
the
report,
but
before
I
do
can
I
just
take
this
time
to
just
acknowledge
and
thank
our
parks
and
Countryside
staff
for
all
the
work
that
they
do
to
make
sure
that
we
have
excellent
parks
and
provision
across
the
city.
I
Okay,
so
I'll
just
I,
assume
you've
read
this
so
I'll
just
spend
five
minutes
running
through
it
as
directed
by
the
chair.
So
as
councilor
Reef
said,
and
the
report
focuses,
it
provides
an
update
on
progress
with
delivering
the
actions
set
out
in
the
Parks
and
green
spaces
strategy.
One
year
on
from
its
publication.
It
basically
covers
a
period
from
March
to
December
2022..
I
So
the
background
section
on
the
first
page
just
provides
a
reminder
of
what
the
strategy
was
all
about,
which
is
councilor
Reese
just
run
through
so
I
worked
well
on
that
I'll
move
directly
to
the
second
page,
where
I've
pulled
out
the
highlights
from
the
update
by
priority.
So
you
can
also
refer
to
obviously
appendix
one.
I
The
parks
and
green
spaces
strategy
and
appendix
2,
which
has
got,
is
basically
several
spreadsheets
listing
all
the
actions
in
the
strategy
and
then
an
update
on
what
we've
done
with
regards
to
each
action.
So
that's
where
all
the
detail
is.
Obviously
this
is
just
a
highlight
report.
I
So,
starting
with
the
quality
priority,
we
were
pleased
that
all
city
parks
are
the
big
ones
like
Roundy,
Middleton
and
Temple
Newsome
achieve
the
national
green
flag
standard
in
2022
for
being
independently
rated
as
good
quality
parks.
I
Moving
on
to
the
climate
and
biodiversity
priority
at
3.10,
we
also
we've.
I
The
second
key
performance
indicator
in
the
strategy
was
to
plant
50
hectares
of
trees
each
year
to
help
combat
the
climate
emergency,
and
we
are
pleased
that
we
achieved
that
kpi
in
the
2021-22
season
and
we're
on
target
to
do
the
same
this
week
year.
So
we're
currently
tree
planting
and
that's
due
to
be
completed
at
the
end
of
February,
also
in
line
with
the
biodiversity
and
climate
priority.
I
We
reduce
seasonal
bedding
by
50
in
2022
and
replaced
it
with
a
mix
of
pollinator
friendly,
wildflowers
and
there's
an
image
of
one
of
those
at
family
park,
and
they
were
really
popular
with
the
public.
I
So
for
the
access
for
all
priority
at
3.15
in
terms
of
the
goal
of
ensuring
our
parks
and
green
spaces
feel
safe
and
welcoming
for
girls
and
women,
we've
been
involved
in
an
externally
funded
research
project
in
partnership
with
the
West
Yorkshire
combined
Authority.
I
The
findings
of
that
research,
which
is
ongoing,
but
nearly
finished,
will
contribute
to
the
production
of
a
design
guide
that
we'll
be
able
to
use
for
ensuring
Future
Part
design
is
as
female
friendly
as
possible
and
as
part
of
this
game,
we
also
received
a
small
amount
of
funding
to
make
improvements
to
Woodhouse
and
holbeck
malls,
so
they
feel
safer
for
girls
and
women
in
line
with
findings
of
the
research
from
local
girls
and
women.
What
they
want
from
their
packs.
I
With
regards
the
culture
priority
at
3.19
and
we're
continuing
to
progress,
some
very
exciting
plans
to
improve
the
cultural
offer
of
the
City
by
developing
our
visitor
attractions
in
key
Parks.
So
this
includes
an
indoor
Player
band,
that's
currently
being
constructed
at
Temple
news
and
home
Farm,
a
new
flagship
play
area
at
loverton
and
plans
for
a
natural
history.
I
Themed
indoor
play
area
tropical
world
which
is
currently
in
development,
we're
also
proud
to
have
hosted
over
eight
injured
events
on
our
parks
and
green
spaces,
including
159
that
were
led
by
communities,
so
they
included
stuff
like
fun
fairs,
Community,
Gala,
sponsored
walks
and
rock
concerts
and
plans
are
in
place
for
us
to
host
several
events
this
year
as
part
of
the
Leeds
city
of
culture.
I
With
regards
to
the
working
with
community's
priority.
As
always,
we
continue
to
have
good
relationships
with
local
communities
and
be
well
supported
by
volunteers,
friends,
groups
and
the
like.
We
are
currently
working
with
approximately
94
friends
groups,
650
sports
clubs
and
58
self-managed
allotment
sites
and
then
for
the
financial
sustainability
priority.
We
continue
to
seek
and
invest
external
funds
in
our
parks
and
green
spaces.
In
2022,
1.3
million
pounds
of
section
106
was
allocated
for
spending
in
local
parks
and
green
spaces.
I
I
We
as
you'll,
be
aware.
We
also
get
smaller
pots
of
funding
from
Grants
such
as
wbiv
or
you're
in
HLF
and
they've
been
invested
into
various
sites
as
well,
and
then,
lastly,
for
the
health
and
well-being
priority,
and
we
continue
to
invest
time
and
money
into
our
sports
facilities,
such
as
football
and
rugby
pictures.
Where
funding
allows,
and
on
the
last
page,
you
can
see
an
image
of
a
Mugger,
a
new
multi-use
games
area
in
gildersome,
which
we've
developed
with
the
parish
council.
I
So,
hopefully,
the
report
demonstrates
how
we've
been
implementing
the
actions
in
the
strategy
focusing
on
the
priorities
set
out
in
it
and
continuing
to
it
towards
achieving
the
vision
of
providing
the
best
parks
and
green
spaces
in
the
UK.
Thank
you.
E
So,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
report
and
thanks
for
all
the
work
that's
being
done
across
the
city,
it's
really
really
important.
I
know
that
I
know
that
it's
it's
very
a
motive.
It's
a
very
emotive
sort
of
area
of
the
council.
Isn't
it
so
like
yeah?
Thank
you.
3.34.
E
So
there's
I'm,
just
I'm
just
wondering
if
you've
got
more
sort
of
detail
around
the
volunteering
and
and
like
raising
capacity
within
communities
to
do
that.
Volunteering
and
and
also
how
resources
are
being
prioritized
as
well.
Because.
E
You're
not
just
investing
once
no
wait,
you
are
investing
once,
but
it
pays
off
and
off
and
off
and
off
and
off.
If,
if
we're
able
to,
if
we're
able
to
just
just
do
a
little
bit
of
training
with
friends,
groups
and
say
this
is
how
it
is
that
you
apply
for
funding
for
particular
projects,
and
it
also
have
a
a
really
positive
impact
on
the
wider
Community
as
well,
because
those
people
that
will
then
have
the
skills
to
to
apply
for
funding
for
other
projects
too.
E
So
I
think
like
like
just
a
small
amount
of
investment
and
support,
would
would
rip
a
layout
across
a
community
and
and
then
3.36
I'm,
just
wondering
how
inflation
and
supply
chain
issues
have
affected
the
delivery
of
parks
Improvement,
because
I
know
of
at
least
one
project
in
my
ward,
where
having
to
completely
review
what
we
deliver
and
then.
Finally,
it's
sort
of
it
sort
of
crosses
over
into
the
next
item.
E
But
I
was
wondering
whether
there's
been
any
thought
for
provision
of
new
green
spaces
and
whether
any
thought
has
been
given
to
green
burials
to
because
we've
we've
obviously
got
a
a
very
pressing
need
to
increase
tree
coverage
if
we're
able
to
also
offer
green
burials
with
tree
planting
as
part
of
that
service.
E
That
would
be
amazing
because
currently
all
you've
got
is
cremation
or
traditional,
Cemetery,
burial
and
I
I
just
feel
that
with
the
climate,
emergency
and
people
being
much
more
aware
of
it,
that's
that's
definitely
an
area
of
growth
that
could
be
considered.
Thank
you.
I
We
have
got,
we've
got
the
figures
in
the
full
document,
so
you
can
refer
to
the
current
figures
for
volunteering
in
terms
of
expanding
capacity.
I
You
know,
we've
got
a
number
of
Rangers
who
support
Bonte
groups
and
then
we've
got
the
technical
officers
as
well,
and
we
have
a
range
of
means
to
allow
them
to
become
more
independent.
So
we
have
Community
Partnership
agreements.
I
We
can
advise
them
on
getting
their
own
insurance
so
that
they
can
work
independently
once
they
become
confident.
So
we
try
to
try
and
Empower
Community
groups
to
be
able
to
become
independent
where
they
want
to.
We
also
try
and
look
for
as
well
as
our
sort
of
core
set
of
Rangers
who
support
groups
and
the
technical
offices.
I
We
look
at
opportunities
to
get
external
funding
to
support
Community
engagement,
so
that
is
the
point
that
3.34,
where
our
charity
Partners
love,
Leeds
Parks
they've,
recently
secured
funding
for
Community
engagement
projects
in
six
parts
across
the
city.
So
that's
the
kind
of
way
we
do
it
and
try
and
expand
the
support
we
provide
for
communities.
J
Yeah
just
sorry
chat
if
I
can
yeah
just
to
expand
on
that.
So
we've
also
got
the
packs
Forum,
which
is
made
up
of
a
group
of
partners
that
come
together
periodically
supported
by
officers
within
the
service
and
they're.
One
of
their
functions
and
roles
is
to
actually
share
their
experience
and
encourage
each
other
advise
other
friends
groups
about
insurance.
How
you
can
get
started
all
that
sort
of
thing.
J
So
you
know
we
do
work
with
quite
a
number
of
Partners
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
then,
as
well
as
having
our
own
Outreach
team,
that
that
Emma's
referred
to.
We
do
also
have
other
Partnerships
with
organizations
such
as
groundwork
with
the
Yorkshire
Wildlife
truths
with
the
rspb
who
actually
help
us
look
after
some
sites,
and
they
also
help
us
engage
with
volunteers
for
those
sites
as
well.
So
we
don't
just
do
everything
on
ourselves.
You
know
we
do
try
and
use
Partnerships
as
well
to
give
extra
capacity.
E
Yeah
I
mean
we've,
got,
we've
got
voluntary
action
leads
as
well
in
the
city
is,
do
they
have
any
input
into
any
of
the
the
training,
because
I
know
that
they
can,
they
can
deliver
it
and
they
can
advise
on
it.
I,
just
I,
just
wonder
as
to
the
sort
of
accessibility
of
this
like
it.
It
seems
to
me
that,
there's,
if
there's
existing
friends
groups,
then
they
get
support.
But
how
is
it
that
we're
going
out
and
seeking
people
to
to
like
nurture
to
to
do
that?.
J
So
yeah,
so
the
lead
packs
Forum
has
their
own
website
effectively
that
people
can
access
and
and
along
that
website.
There's
lots
of
information
about
how
you
can
develop
your
own
group,
how
you
can
get
involved,
what
those
key
contacts
are
and
then
there's
also
referral
process
onto
our
team.
J
Then
so,
like
you
know,
so,
if
somebody's
got
some
affiliation
with
their
particular
site,
then
we
can
pick
that
up
and
help
and
support
them
and
hopefully
get
them
to
a
position
whereby
you
know
they
can
actually
have
some
form
of
stewardship
agreement
where
we
agree
and
they
can
get
take
over
more
of
a
of
a
a
a
doing
role
on
site,
as
well
as
just
plain
interest.
So
so
we
do
have
that
I
mean
in
terms
of
voluntary
action
leads.
Do
you
want
to
answer
that.
E
Sorry
sorry,
chair,
there's,
there's
additional
questions
that
haven't
been
answered
yet
sorry.
N
Can
I
come
in
back
on
back
of
the
volunteer
one
as
well?
I
think
there's
something
that
we
did
that
worked
quite
well.
When
we
did
the
tree
planting
in
hair
Hills,
we
had
an
Eventbrite
event
on
and
we
actually
got
quite
a
few
volunteers
that
signed
up
from
across
different
parts
of
the
city
that
came
over.
We
had
quite
a
few
students,
actually
so
I
think
that's
another
way
of
getting
the
volunteers
and
I
think
that
was
a
really
positive
way
because
we
ended
up
having
loads
of
volunteers.
J
Programs
are
absolutely
over
or
you
know
absolutely
oversubscribed,
so
you
know
we
we've
got
for
the
tree
planting,
for
example,
you
know
we're
holding
a
quite
a
large
number
of
volunteer
events
for
tree
planting
and
they
are
fully
subscribed.
They
they
go
really
fast,
so
it
really
really
works
well
for
us
just
up.
J
On
green
burials
yep,
so
obviously
we
don't
offer
a
specific
green
burial
service.
J
We
do
at
the
moment,
offer
a
memorial
tree
option,
so
that
is
one
way
that
people
can
recognize
their
loved
ones,
but
it
is
something
that
councilor
reefs
has
asked
us
to
look
at
in
terms
of
I
mean
I
know:
we've
got
a
paper
on
burial
capacity
coming
up
next,
and
you
can
see
that
there
is
potential
to
actually
offer
a
green
burial
option,
and
that
is
something
that
we're
actively
looking
at
about
how
we
can
take
that
forward.
A
E
Yeah
sorry,
there
was
the
house
inflation
and
supply
chain
issues
affected,
Parks,
Improvement,
I.
J
Do
apologize
and
that's
a
good
question?
Yes,
so
I
mean
we
had
a
high
well
during
covet.
Of
course,
a
lot
most
of
the
construction
was
suspended
because,
as
Workforce
was
deployed
to
more
other
prioritized
tasks
and
then
coming
out
of
that,
what
we
found
is.
Obviously
we
had
some
quite
big
supply
chain
issues
and
so
a
lot
of
the
obviously
we
work
in
a
global
market.
J
A
lot
of
the,
for
example,
playground
equipment
is
sourced
from
all
over
the
world,
and
so
there
was
significant
delays
on
obtaining
Parts
for
equipment
and
also
there
was
a
shortage
of
construction
materials
so
to
the
point
that
some
that
a
lot
of
our
suppliers
were
actually
effectively
rationing
Supply
across
their
customers,
so
look
to
ensure
that
everybody
could
do
a
bit.
But
of
course
you
know
it
did
slow
down
the
amount
of
development
work
that
we
wanted
to
do
and
as
now
that
supply
chain
is
big
into
ease.
J
So
you
know
so,
like
some
of
the
costs
have
gone
up,
I
mean
I,
know
inflation
is
running
at
about
10,
but
some
of
our
costs
have
actually
gone
up
a
lot
more
on
that
particularly
petroleum
oil-based
products
such
as
tarmac
for
surfacing
safer
surfacing
for
playgrounds.
J
You
know
that
has
significantly
increased,
which
has,
unfortunately,
even
though
we
do
allow
a
contingency
in
some
of
the
schemes
has
meant
that
we've
had
to
revisit
those
to
Value
engineer
to
look
at
how
we
can
still
deliver
as
much
of
that
scheme
as
possible,
but
within
the
budget
framework
that
we've
been
set.
So
it's
a
particular
challenge.
I
mean
it
was
a
good
question.
E
Sorry
chair
so
have
you
got
have
you
got
the
figures
for
how
many
how
many
sites
are
affected
by
that
by
how
much
money
we're
sure
to
deliver
what
we
wanted
to
deliver
before.
J
I,
don't
have
a
specific
figure
combined,
but
just
about
every
scheme
that
we
that
we
are
doing
that
involves
any
form
of
construction
or
material
supply
will
have
an
effect
you
know,
and
on
average
that
will
be
10.
You
know,
but
I
mean
there
are
some
good
examples
out
there
that
we,
that
you
know,
for
example,
you
know
where
we've
got
specific
projects
where
there
has
been
a
direct
effect
on
inflation,
where
that
is
quite
auditable
and
I
could
provide
that.
C
Yeah
thank
you,
chair
and,
and
thank
you
for
this
report.
Looking
at
your
playgrounds,
which
let
me
just
say
that
we
are
all
proud
to
have
the
Open
Spaces
that
we
have
in
our
city,
but
there
are
certain
areas
in
the
city
where
we
don't
have
much
of
the
Open
Spaces,
neither
the
some
of
our
residents
have
Gardens
or
backyards,
especially
London
Center
and
in
Hyde
Park
as
well.
C
So
investing
in
in
playgrounds,
I
think
is,
is
quite
crucial
to
see,
especially
with
regards
looking
at
the
one
which
is
in
potsy,
where
you
invested
I'm
sure
a
good
amount
of
money,
but
I
think
it's
good
to
see
these
facilities
across
the
city
for
for
all
our
young
people,
so
they
can
enjoy
the
the
active
lifestyle
in
in
our
Parks.
C
Second
point
is
that
let
me
declare
an
interest
here:
I
I
have
a
normal
walks
now
in
our
Parks
across
the
city
and
and
what
I
have
know
is
the
the
dog
West
Parks.
We
are
bins.
We
are.
C
We
are
lacking
in
some
part
of
the
the
city,
so
I
think
if
the
members
can
find
the
areas
where
it
could
be
funded
by
either
yourself
or
the
Hub
or
from
the
mice
money
like
the
one
that
we
have
just
put
two
bins
in
now,
our
neck
of
the
wood
from
from
the
hap
money,
so
I
think
it's
something,
even
though
it's
small,
but
if
you're
taking
your
dog
out
for
a
walk,
it's
crucial
to
to
have
some
sort
of
location
where
people
can
dispose
the
dog
dog's
waste.
Thank
you.
J
So
just
to
feedback
at
the
moment,
investment
in
plays
obviously
where
members
choose
to
invest
their
one
or
six,
where
you're
fortunate
enough
to
have
someone
or
six
within
the
ward.
You
know
that
is
one
of
the
discretional
delegated
functions
from
the
service
in
terms
of
that's
very
much
up
to
members
about
what
the
priorities
are
in
their
particular
award
regarding
that.
J
But
the
the
issue
we
have
is
that
the
the
only
really
significant
investment
we
do
have
currently
is
from
106
funding,
and
that
does
vary
throughout
the
city
and
I
think
it
is
recognized
that
some
inner
city
areas
don't
have
the
opportunity
for
development,
but
actually
would
benefit
from
significant
investment
in
terms
of
the
the
green
spaces.
J
So
I
mean.
That
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
try
to
make
sure
that
there
were
quite
a
lot
of
parks
included
in
the
leveling
up
fun
buds
as
part
of
an
overall
package
of
regeneration
and
because
that
was
a
good
way
of
getting
investment
into
areas
that
you
wouldn't
have
the
106
funding.
J
We're
also
doing
what
we're
doing
also
is,
where
we're
doing
the
development
work
in
terms
of
the
sustainable
financial
situation
of
the
service.
What
we
are
doing
is
Council
Reef
has
to
create
a
fun
top
slice,
these
some
of
the
Surplus
that
we'll
make
from
that
and
use
that
to
reinvest
in
the
service
in
some
way.
So
some
of
those
schemes,
the
playground,
is
going
to
be
the
first
one
that's
coming
online
this
spring,
but
whatever
that
Player
band
makes
in
terms
of
surplus.
J
Some
of
that
funding
them
will
then
be
used
to
actually
be
reinvested
in
some
sites
that
wouldn't
normally
benefit
from
one
or
six.
So
that's
the
start
in
terms
of
having
more
of
a
discretional
fund
that
we
can
certainly
take
forward
and
also
a
council
resources
to
look
at
producer
paper
which
we've
gone.
It
recognizes
in
this
report
with
the
sib
about
how
we
can
use
more
discretionary
for
funding,
either
through
the
form
of
sill
or
Capital,
to
actually
allow
us
to
invest
in
again
in
areas
that
wouldn't
normally
benefit
from
one
or
six.
C
Thank
you
for
that
Sean
one
thing
I
wish
I
forgot
to
mention
was
that
when
you
have
the
player
areas
for
the
children
in
some
parts,
inspection,
one
I
can
think
of
in
my
world
where
is
so
closer
to
the
main
road
and
and
kids
are
kids
in
the
day
and
they
can
follow
the
football
if,
whichever
direction
is
going
and
and
and
and
the
safety
of
that,
child
could
be
crucial.
C
So
what
we
got
in
place
for
areas
where
there's
there's
a
there's,
a
primary
school
there's
a
community
center,
and
then
you
go
busy
road
going
and
we've
already
seen
some
casualties
over
the
years
in
that
particular
road.
So
what
we
go
in
place
to
make
sure
when
we
are
putting
these
play
areas
to
make
sure
the
safety
of
those
children's
are
important.
So
we
have
some
sort
of
screening
or
or
or
fencing
where
the
child
cannot
follow
the
football
or
or
whatever
going
in
the
direction
to
the
busy
road.
J
Yeah,
so
thanks
a
lot
I
mean
that
is
quite
challenging,
but
what
we
do
do
is
we
undertake
a
risk
assessment,
a
police
assessment
before
we
actually
do
any
new
development
for
that
type
of
facility
and
then,
where
we
realize
that
there
is
a
risk
that
a
child
come
under
out
into
a
road
and
then
obviously
we'll
look
at
what
mitigation
can
be
undertaken
to
actually
stop
that
so,
for
a
good
example,
is
ball?
Stop
fencing
on
a
multi-use
games,
area
site
so
effectively.
You
know.
J
Hopefully
the
ball
doesn't
get
pinged
out
of
that
space
and
stays
within
that
play
zone.
Also
in
playgrounds.
We
generally
put
fencing
around
so
like
it
leaves
it
it.
You
know
so
that
it
does
actually
give
parents
an
opportunity
to
to
you
know,
grab
you
know,
get
keep
an
eye
on
the
child
within
a
defined
area
and
also
sort
of
filterly.
If
somebody
does
want
to
leave
that
area,
you
have
to
go
through
the
Gated
area,
not
actually
just
straight
out
onto
a
space.
J
So
those
are
the
mitigations
that
you
can
put
in
place,
but
it
is
a
balance
because
obviously,
what
we
also
want
to
do
is
make
sure
that
children
can
play
safely
and
that's
not
just
about
the
the
actual
quality
of
the
facilities,
but
that's
also
about
making
sure
that
they
are
overlooked
and
not
necessarily
in
an
isolated
area.
So
it's
not
necessarily
a
bad
thing
for
a
playground
to
be
in
an
area
that
you
can
actually
quite
easily
see
from
the
road.
J
So
it's
getting
that
balance
right
really
in
terms
of
provision,
but
you
do
have
to
put
those
mitigations
in
place.
C
Thank
you
for
that
Sean.
But
what
about
those
sites
where
there
is
a
danger?
Let's
say,
and
there
are
areas-
and
we
are
fortunate
in
our
our
next
with
regards
to
section
106
money.
But
there
are
some
areas
in
the
city
where
they
don't
have
one
or
six
agreement
money.
So
well.
C
If
someone
basically
highlights
a
particular
issue
in
what
how
long
does
that
take
for
for
for
the
particular
fence
or
to
make
sure
the
area
is
safe
for
our
children
to
to
have
a
work
about
whatever
I
mean
the
site
I'm
referring
to
is
the
one
next
to
the
London
Community
Center,
which,
after
school
time
it
gets
really
really
busy
and
people
kids
are
waiting
to
go
into
the
swings
or
whatever
and
the
queue
up,
but
then
again
a
mother
with
with
two
or
three
children.
C
J
I
was
actually
going
to
say
if
there's
any
specific
examples
where
you've
got
concerns
but
yeah
but
you've.
Given
me
once
I've
made
a
note
so
we'll
we'll
look
into
that,
so
I
mean
the
the
reality.
Is
that
obviously,
if
it's
high
risk
and
there's
funding
available
for
us
to
undertake
some
mitigation,
then
we'll
treat
that
as
a
parity.
G
Thank
you,
chair
and
good
to
see
you
Council,
Arif
and
and
I
also
welcome
this
Sport
and
I
want
to
thank
Emma
but
she's,
not
here,
but
you
know
if
you
can
pass
my
message.
Yes
and
a
bit
cheeky
here.
I
just
want
to
take
this
opportunity
also
to
thank
Sean.
You
know
for
his
service
to
lead,
and
you
know,
since
I've
known
you
Sean
about
10
years,
you've
been
very
approachable
officer
and
very
prompt.
If
we
need
some
information,
you
were
very
prompt
anyway.
G
So
that's
thank
you
for
that
service.
Much
appreciated
the
question
is
Sean.
We've
got
six
parks
in
Leeds
that
have
won
national
green
flag
award.
Congratulations
well
done,
but
there
are
some
other
parks
in
Leeds
who
are.
These
are
the
major
parks
in
the
city
of
Leeds,
but
we
do
have
a
community
parks
and
my
question
is:
how
are
they
getting
looked
after?
G
What
is
the
strategy
for
adolescent
parks
within
those
communities,
because
last
three
years
has
been
very,
very
difficult
for
all
of
us
due
to
covert
pandemic
and
the
only
place
where
people
wanted
to
go?
Have
a
fresh
air
walk
around
was
in
your
parks
and
and
I've
got
some
more
questions
to
answer.
If
you
can
answer
those
questions,
I'll
come
back.
J
So
yeah,
so
we
obviously
we've
got
the
Leeds
quality
Park
standard
so
effectively
we
we've
got
our
major
city
parks
are
assessed
to
the
green
flag
standard
and
the
Leeds
quality
Park
standard
is
the
effectively
the
field
assessment
of
the
green
flag
standard.
J
So
it's
exactly
the
same
assessment
except
you
don't
need
the
extensive
management
plans
that
backlat
up
so
I
mean
I'm
I'm
pleased
to
say
that
that
the
majority
of
our
community
Parks
do
actually
meet
the
Leeds
quality
Park
standard
and
the
strategy
has
set
quite
a
challenging
Target
to
get
them
all
to
the
lqp
standard
as
soon
as
possible.
At
the
moment,
I
think
the
figure
is
72
percent
meet
that
Target
and
that
has
grown
year
on
year
on
year.
J
So
we've
been
very
fortunate
really
in
terms
of
being
able
to
invest
in
sites
and
and
to
be
fair,
because
the
investment
choices
are
particularly
through.
106
are
determined
by
members.
You
know
hu
as
members
that
are
effectively
prioritize
that
and
allowed
us
to
deliver
those
targets,
so
we're
very
grateful
to
local
World
members
for
for
that
support.
J
But
as
we
get
near
that
challenge
near
that,
Target
is
going
to
get
more
demanding
and
challenging,
and
it's
going
to
get
even
more
demanding
way
in
areas
that
don't
have
that
benefit
from
one
or
six,
and
that
is
why
you
know
we
need
to
look
at
those
other
regeneration
opportunities
to
actually
sell.
Those
packs
and
spaces
will
benefit
from
addition
from
more
directed
investment.
G
Thank
you
chair
and
also
how
many
Park
forums
do
we
have
in
Leeds
and
if
there's
a
groups
want
to
set
up
another
Forum
in
their
own
Parks,
because
the
forums
the
community
groups
can
raise
some
external
funding
within
those
Parks.
What
how
can
they
get,
and
also
on
Emma's
presentation
3.28?
When
are
those
11
sites.
J
Okay,
so
yes,
sorry
about
it,
yeah
so
yeah.
So
in
terms
of
the
number
of
friends
groups,
Etc,
so
I
think
we've
got
about
term
60,
friends
of
groups
and
we've
got
14
balloon
groups
and
there's
lots
of
voluntary
groups.
You
can
get
involved
with.
We've
only
got
one
packs
Forum,
because
effectively
the
parks
forum
is
representatives
from
all
those
groups
that
come
together
to
to
meet
periodically
and
we
we
give
them
regular
updates
and
they
host
their
website
Etc.
J
And
it's
been
really
successful
because,
as
what's
what
what's
gone
off,
the
back
of
the
parks
forum
is
the
Leeds
Parks
fund
will
be
successful
in
getting
that
funding.
So
so
that's
really
really
worked
well
and
then
in
terms
of
the
11
sites.
Those
are
you
referring
to
the
Morley
town.
G
On
your
3.281
hammer
and
unfriendly
priorities,
all
right-
sorry,
apologies,
3.28,
530k,
section
106
was
approved.
Tax
investment
in
play
ground
11
sites,
which
are
those
sites.
J
G
I
We
do
have
an
education
scheme,
so
we've
got
a
couple
of
Education
officers.
They
do
a
lot
of
work
at
the
visitor
attractions,
especially
the
zoos,
because
there's
an
obligation
to
provide
education
with
zoos.
I
They
also
provide
sessions
out
in
different
parks,
and
we
also
aim
to
consult
so
wherever
we're
like
investing
in
improvements
in
any
of
our
Parks.
We're
aim
to
consult
young
people
so
we're
developing
a
scheme
to
create
plans
on
a
page
for
all
our
community
parks
and
we're
definitely
going
to
be
going
into
schools
talking
to
Children
about
what
they
want
to
see
in
their
local
park
for
that
scheme.
I
So
this
there
are
some
statistics
in
here
about
how
many
children
have
been
reached.
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
on
that
page
on.
I
Because
the
strategy
prioritizes
education
about
nature
and
conservation
and
caring
for
Parks
or
litter
and
obviously
climate
and
then
again
the
support
for
those
visitor
attractions.
So
that's
where
we've
got
our
statistics,
they're
pretty
good.
There's
like
I.
J
Think
they're
about
30
000
school
children,
visits
to
directed
school
children,
visits
to
our
attractions
and
then
that's
not
including
all
the
rest
of
the
work
that
we
do
on
our
other
sites,
but
certainly
those
ones
that
are
recorded
that
there's
about
30
000
children
involved.
G
Yeah
just
to
briefly
chair,
thank
you.
That's
really!
Assuring
can
I.
Can
you
Sean
pass
on
my
thanks
to
Vicky
and
John
Ward
they've
been
honestly
they've
been
brilliant,
they've
been
having
that
conversation
locally
with
elected
members,
and
they
have
listened
to
us
and
there's
a
quite
a
few.
We've
got
three
schemes
going
in
bentos,
Richmond
Hills.
The
last
one
say
thank
you.
K
Thank
you
chair
a
couple
of
things.
First
off
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
for
the
u-turn
on
the
car
parking
charges.
Excellent
news
really
really
pleased
for
all
the
residents
across
the
city.
Thank
you
for
that
a
couple
of
other
things.
K
So
we've
heard
about
the
investment
and
the
fact
that
virtually
all
of
it
comes
from
section
106.
As
you
know,
we've
invested
heavily
in
Pudsey.
K
We've
spent
an
awful
lot
of
time,
effort
and
money
on
our
parks,
and
we
were
fortunate
to
be
in
that
position.
Not
everybody
is
as
fortunate,
and
we
understand
that
and
the
love
leads
Park
charity
that
was
recently
set
up.
I've
suggested
Sean
previously
on
my
role
as
Shadow
member
for
parks
and
Countryside,
that
you
know
we
look
to
concentrate
on
the
parks
and
green
spaces
that
don't
have
the
106
through
that
Forum
and
then
try
and
encourage
other
elected
members
to
invest
their
106
money
in
their
parks
and
green
spaces.
K
The
leader
parked
forum
is
excellent,
but
my
comment
there
is
they
meet
through
the
day
and
a
lot
of
the
volunteers
that
we
have
work,
so
they
can't
actually
make
the
meeting.
So
it
might
be
an
idea
if
there
was
any
opportunity
at
all
to
even
if
it
was
once
a
court.
You
know
alternate
meetings
or
once
every
third
meeting
that
they
met
on
an
evening
or
a
weekend
to
allow
other
volunteers
to
actually
get
to
those
meetings.
K
I
know
that
I,
you
know
I've
deputized
in
the
past,
for
some
of
our
groups
in
terms
of
setting
up
other
groups,
it
is
really
easy
and
we
were
sent
a
list
of
all
the
friends
and
in
Bloom's
groups
around
about
the
22nd
of
July.
Anybody
needs
me
to
forward
a
spreadsheet
onto
them.
I
can
do
that
because
I've
just
pulled
it
up
now.
K
I
think
the
biggest
comment
I've
got
with
with
regards
this
is
we're
still
awaiting
our
tree
management
policy.
Update.
Please
we're
planting
fifth
well,
however
many
hectares
at
50
hectares
or
whatever
across
the
city
500
hectares
could
I
forget
the
number.
Now
sorry,
apologies
yeah,
it's
50
I
thought
it
was
yeah.
I
thought
it
was
Doc
glimer
we're
going
to
be
in
the
middle
of
the
middle
of
the
Black
Forest,
but
yeah.
K
K
K
So
we
do
desperately
need
that
Tree,
Management
policy,
updating
and
you
know,
because
it
does
blight
a
lot
of
residents
lives.
You
know
we've
got
residents
who
who
need
permanent
Lighting
on
because
of
the
Dark
Shadow,
the
overshadowing
of
the
trees
and
the
current
policy.
Is
that
you've
no
right
to
light,
and
you
know
things
like
that
and
it
just
jars
a
little
bit
with
the
climate
emergency.
We
need
the
trees,
but
we
don't
need
to
put
lights
and
heating
on,
because
residents
are
being
overshadowed
by
the
trees.
K
J
Yeah
so
just
comment:
I
mean
we
did
give
I
mean
scrutiny.
Had
a
working
group
looked
at
the
tree
policy
and
we
did
give
an
undertaking
that
we
would
look
and
review
that
so
that
review
was
under
process.
So
that
is
something
that
we
are
actively
looking
at
and
I.
Don't
think
I've
I
can't
remember
what
the
first
point
was,
but
but
I
don't
think
it
needed
the
actual
directories,
but,
oh
sorry,
Parks
forums
that
was
it
yeah.
Sorry
yeah
so
yeah
I
mean
I,
know
the
actual
Parts
problem.
J
I
F
A
quick
one
from
the
priorities
in
the
strategy.
F
Access
for
all
see
a
very
important
one
and
I
say
I
bring
this
up
here,
not
to
criticize,
because
I
think
the
department
is
doing
fantastic
work,
but
I
hear
from
residents
reasonably
frequently
about
access
problems,
and
it's
really
about
A-frames
because
and
I'm
not
telling
you
anything,
you
don't
know,
but
mobility,
scooters
for
infirm
or
elderly
people
are
getting
bigger
and
bigger.
F
So
you
know:
we've
we've
done
walk
arounds
with
with
residents.
I
spent
two
hours
with
one
gentleman
traversing
all
of
fernville
fields,
so
I
just
bring
it
up
really
for
for
further
consideration
that
what
is
the
strategy
in
terms
of
you
can
sometimes
so?
Obviously,
we
have
the
pull
of
trying
to
keep
motorbikes
out
and
letting
all
good
Green
Space
users
in
very
difficult.
F
F
Obviously,
the
shade
of
chicane
doesn't
stop
the
motorbike
either
getting
into
that
green
space.
So
all
we
are
actually
doing,
unfortunately,
is
stopping
the
legitimate
user
having
full
traversing
access.
That's
that
that's
that's!
It
really
I
think
it's
a
piece
of
work.
F
I
am
working
on
in
in
my
ward
as
I,
say:
I,
don't
bring
it
up
as
a
criticism,
but
the
the
the
the
the
these
these
Mobility
vehicles
are
getting
bigger
and
the
frames
are
so
narrow
and
I
think
they
have
worked
well,
but
sometimes
people
can
pick
up
a
thing
at
a
bike
up
as
well,
but
if
they
were
four
inches
wider,
two
inches
on
either
side
most
of
these
vehicles
can
get
through
so
I,
just
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
what
directly
what
the
answer
is,
but
other
than
enlarge
them
all
slightly,
but
I
think
it's
something
we
we
we
could
be
looking
at
on
behalf
of
being
an
accessible
lead
to
an
age-friendly
leads.
J
We
we
undertake
when
we
do
the
lqp
assessments
we
undertake.
Obviously
one
of
the
scores
is
about
access,
so
we
do
have
a
measure
of
accessibility.
J
The
strategy
also
commits
us
to
do
a
more
detailed
audit
on
access
on
each
other
sites,
and
that
is
something
that
we're
looking
to
work
with
Partners
to
actually
Undertake
and
join
the
life
of
the
strategy.
I
think
it's
a
short-term
action.
Is
it
in
the
strategy?
I
think
so
so
it
is
one
that
we're
looking
to
pick
up
in
the
next
year
or
so
to
actually
move
that
forward,
and
we've
been
talking
to
the
parks
Forum
about
doing
that.
J
So
some
of
the
friends
and
volunteer
groups
can
get
involved
and
do
the
audit,
and
so
that's
something
we
can
look
at
here
is
a
good
point
and
there
isn't
no
golden
solution
to
this.
What
we're
doing
on
most
new
developments
where
we
do
need
to
put
access
controls
in
we
are
using
chicanes,
we're
obviously
Consulting
the
council's
access
officer
to
try
and
find
a
a
way
forward
in
terms
of
that
can
meet
the
community
safety
elements
that
we're
looking
to
do,
but
also
to
allow
genuine
users
to
be
able
to
access
the
site.
J
So
we
are
using
chickens
a
lot
of
our
new
developments,
we're
putting
chickens
in,
but
we
do
have
a
legacy
of
airframes
and
as
we,
those
sites
get
refreshed
and
developed,
then
obviously
we'll
look
into
those
access
arrangements
and,
as
we
do,
the
audits
we'll
be
revisiting
sites
as
a
result
of
those
audits
to
actually
look
and
see
what
we
can
do
as
well,
because
it
might
be
some
really
quick
actions
that
we
can
do
to
improve
the
site.
J
D
F
Yeah,
thank
you
guys.
That's
great.
It's
good
to
hear
that
the
service,
perhaps
is,
is
saying
that
it
is
going
to
take
responsibility
for
that
because,
as
we
often
find
with
very
large
services,
for
example,
at
the
moment,
I'm
I'm
doing
defibrillators
in
my
ward
that
we
realized
nobody
had
an
overview
of
the
situation,
and
so
that
is
now
something
that
the
board
members
are
overseeing
so
you're.
F
It's
it's
really
good
to
hear
that
it
isn't
one
of
those
matters
where
everyone
assumes
that
somebody
else
is
sorting
it
out.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
chair,
I,
think
I'll
start
also
by
thanking
officers
for
their
hard
work.
The
last
year,
and
particularly
you
Sean
I,
hope
you
have
a
nice
retirement
all
right.
You
sure
you've
deserved
it.
After
all
these
years,
working
for
the
council
and
I
can
never
say
her
name
properly,
but
I'd
also
like
to
place
on
record
yeah,
who
has
been
very
helpful
this
year
with
the
three
little
projects
that
we
have
in
Eden.
L
Actually,
as
it
turns
out,
I'd
also
like
to
thank
officers
for
all
the
support
they've
provided
to
the
community
group,
so
I'm,
the
friends
of
engine
Fields,
the
Chevron
friends
Etc.
So
that's
the
nice
bit
done
now.
It's
a
challenging
bit.
I
want
to
ask
about
the
measuring
the
outcomes
of
the
50
hectares
of
trees.
Every
year
the
little
whips
are
being
planted
in
many
places
and
I.
Think
it's
Victoria,
that's
leading
on
that
from
our
point
of
view,
Victoria
Marston.
L
Are
we
measuring
success
of
that,
because
clearly,
there
won't
be
and
I
think
we've
set
five
million
trees
over
the
next
25
years.
There
won't
be
five
million
trees
that
survive.
L
Do
we
have
a
view
as
to
what
we
think
would
be
success,
or
are
we
just
measuring
the
input,
but
not
the
output
of
those
50
hectares
every
year,
I'd
also
I
get
that
we've
got
six
city
parks,
but
I
also
have
I'm
going
to
take
the
opportunity
here
to
talk
about
toilets
in
destination
parks
and
I
have
obviously
yeading
time
which
the
last
time
I
was
updated,
has
over
a
million
adult
visits
a
year
and
I
have
Wharf
Meadows
Park
and
the
single
biggest
criticism
or
concern
issue
raised
with
Ward
members
is
the
lack
of
toilet
facilities
despite
there
being
toilets
in
those
destination
Parks,
either
not
being
open
or
being
of
not
being
accessible.
L
L
I
know
that,
particularly
in
my
own
Ward
we're
slow
at
telling
enthusia
that
we
want
to
progress,
but
once
we
have
told
it,
it
seems
that
it
can
take
forever
for
a
park
to
go
from
design
through
consultation,
to
implement
or
or
into
implementation
and
opening,
and
why
is
that
and
finally,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about
our
commitment
to
Wilding
harboring
spaces
last
year,
for
the
first
time
we
wildered
a
bit
of
water,
Meadows
Park
in
the
formal
part
and
I
have
to
say
it
went
down
very,
very
well
with
the
local
community
and
I'd
like
to
see
parks
and
Countryside,
offer
up
more
Wilding
opportunities,
and
does
it
save
money
or
is
it
cost
neutral
or
does
it
cost
money?
J
Yeah,
so
if
you,
if
I
come
back
to
that,
so
I'll
come
back
to
the
the
the
the
naturalized
areas,
there
isn't
a
cost
saving
with
it's
just
a
different
way
of
managing
a
particular
space.
So
it
has
different
inputs,
but
it's
not
really
a
cost
saving
in
terms
of
that.
J
But
what
we
do
want
to
encourage
more
I
mean
we
brought
to
a
sexy
board,
approved
a
paper
about
adapting
our
packs
and
green
spaces
for
climate
change
a
number
of
years
back,
and
that
is
about
actually
how
we
can
create
more
pollinating
areas,
more
natural
habitats,
more
tree,
planting
Etc
onto
our
spaces,
and
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
strategy
is
very
one
of
the
one
of
the
underpinning.
J
Actions
in
the
strategy
is
to
create
for
every
Community
pack
a
plan
on
a
page,
and
that
plan
will
be
all
encompassing
in
terms
of
what
that
greens,
what
the
potential
of
that
space
could
be
in
terms
of
play
in
terms
of
healthy
walks
in
terms
of
been
Wildlife
friendly
in
terms
of
you
know,
helping
with
adaptation
to
climate
change,
so
every
an
accessibility.
J
So
all
of
the
things
we
discussed
today,
we
want
to
build
into
a
plan
on
a
pitch
so
that
every
site
will
have
a
plan
that
members
can
that
members
can
lead
on
that.
Local
communities
can
be
consulted
on
and
everybody
has
ownership
and
a
share
of
that,
and
we
think
that
will
be
a
fantastic
driver
to
encourage
volunteering
to
to
encourage
participation
and
encourage
investment.
J
So
that's
one
of
the
key
things
that's
running
through
the
strategy
in
terms
of
the
tree
canopy,
the
we
we
plant,
the
four
thousand
trees
per
hectare,
because
we
know
that
once
we
get
to
the
point
of
survival
that
will
create
enough
mature
trees
to
create
a
tree
canopy
that
covers
our
Hector
Ridge.
So
it's
not
just
about
inputs.
It's
about
that.
That
will
guarantee
that
particular
tree
canopy
covered
and
that's
what
this
is
all
about.
J
The
reason
why
you
do
why
you
plant
them
in
such
identities
is
that,
because
what
happens
is
those
trees
start
to
compete
with
each
other
as
they
start
to
develop,
and
then
that
encourages
the
trees
to
grow
quicker
because
they
are
more
tightly
planted
and
then,
as
you
manage,
that
and
thin
them
out
over
the
years,
they
are
still
relatively
close,
so
you
actually
get
quicker
growth
going
upwards
and
outwards
and
that's
how
you
create
the
canopy
quicker?
That's
not
something!
We've
invented!
That's
that's
recommendations
from
the
forestry
commission.
J
There's
been
lots
of
research
in
this,
and
lots
of
you
know
clever
people
in
the
parking
service.
So
we
are
actually
following
good
scientific
and
good
industry
practice
in
terms
of
being
able
to
create
that
tree
canopy,
but
that
does
need
managing
and
and
as
councilor
Smith
says,
you
know,
we
have
grant
funding
that
allows
us
to
manage
that
canopy
progression
for
the
first
15
years
that
employers
currently
now
and
then.
J
Finally,
just
picking
up
on
toilets,
most
Parks
don't
have
public
toilets,
but
some
do
and
so,
for
example,
they
they
the
specific
sites
that
the
councilor
referred
to
is
we
didn't
know,
there's
an
arrangement
with
the
cafe
in
terms
of
the
lease
for
the
cafe
whereby
those
toilets
to
be
made
available
for
public
use
in
the
cafe
when
the
cafes
open.
So
if
the
cafe
is
not
allowing
people
to
use
those,
then
we
can
raise
up
with
them.
J
We
can
pick
that
up
in
terms
of
their
conditions
of
their
lease,
because
that
was
an
efficient
way
of
providing
toilet
facilities
and
without
actually
having
the
cost
directly
to
the
council.
And
then
there
are
some
public
toilets
that
you
didn't
turn
I,
don't
know
what
commission
they're
in
and
whether
they're,
open
or
not,
because
I
know
that
there
were
refurbished
a
number
of
years
ago.
So
it's
something
I
look
into
and
I'll
get
filter
to
come.
L
This
is
a
sort
of
a
would
it
be
better
just
to
plant,
30
or
40
larger
trees,
because
one
of
the
problems
we
have
is
that
people
complain
about
all
the
TR,
all
the
whips
being
destroyed
yeah
and
they
say
what
a
terrible
waste
of
money,
wouldn't
it
be
better
to
put
in
bigotries
that
don't
get
destroyed
and
don't
get
knocked
over
by
rabbits
and
dogs
and
kicked
out
by
kids
and
get
your
canopy.
That
way.
Thank
you.
J
So
I
mean
you
could
plant
40
trees,
but
it
would
be
a
slow
way
of
getting
them
to
maturity,
to
create
the
canopy,
because
what
you
do
need
is
that
competition,
so
the
most
efficient
way
and
the
scientifically
proven
ways
to
create
that
canopy
quickly
is
to
follow
the
methodology
that
we've
adopted.
The
other
benefits
of
that,
of
course,
is
that
you
create
some
really
valuable
habitat
as
they're
growing
up
it's
because
you've
got
that
density.
So
you
know
you
get
a
lot
of
benefits,
it's
not
just
about
canopy
and
about
clean
air.
J
It
is
about
the
types
of
habitat
that
will
provide
because
we
put
a
mix
of
species
in
there,
so
that
works
really
well,
but
I
can
assure
members-
and
we
have
evidence
of
this
all
over
the
city-
that,
where
you
plant
a
heavy,
an
extra
heavy
standard
tree
I,
can
guarantee
that
if
you
plant
whips
next
to
it
within
about
five
years
or
six
years,
loves
whips
will
be
taller
than
the
step
than
the
standard
tree
and
that
will
have
hardly
moved
compared
to
the
to
the
transplants.
D
Firstly,
how
much
did
it
cost
to
put
in
the
leveling
up
bits
for
the
parks
for
the
potential
investment
in
those
please
this
may
this
will
probably
need
to
be
addressed
elsewhere,
but
concerns
raised
at
the
outer
Northwest
committee
this
week
about
the
cost
of
using
approved
contractors
and
not
necessarily
the
quality
following
and
the
overall
cost
of.
Obviously
there
is
inflation
in
construction,
but
if
you
could
shed
any
light
on
that,
we
may
need
to
explore
it
further
elsewhere.
D
Provision
for
older
children
in
young
people
in
parks,
in
particular,
especially
girls
and
young
women,
but
not
in
but
not
exclusively,
and
one
question
that's
been
raised
with
me
by
the
green
team
from
a
local
parent
from
Paris
church,
is
about
relaxed,
mowing
enclosed
graveyards,
where
the
parish,
where
the
where
parks
are
responsible,
it
has
been
referred
to
bereavement
but
I've,
not
heard
anything
back.
Thank
you.
Sean.
J
Just
starting
off
I
don't
have
any
details
of
the
level
the
leveling
up.
Fun
bids
were
coordinated
for
the
Regeneration
team,
so
they
worked.
You
know
really
hard
pulling
all
those
together.
So
we
we
provided
our
office
a
time
in
terms
of
expertise
about
what
we
wanted
to
see,
but
but
it's
that
regeneration
team
that
we're
managing
the
whole
bit
so
late.
They
will
have
the
costs
of
that
in
terms
of
contractors.
J
Obviously
we
go
out
to
competition,
so
the
the
prices
that
come
back
from
the
contractors
are,
you
know,
are
done
in
the
company
environment.
If
there
are
any
specific
issues
regarding
performance
of
an
individual
contractor
on
a
specific
site,
we
can
pick
that
up
individually.
You
know
if
you
speak
to
other.
What's
your
world
counselor?
Oh
sorry,
guys
yeah!
So
if
you,
if
so
guys
so
that'll
be
Fuji.
J
If
you,
if
he
is
like
with
fuja,
then
she'll
we'll
have
to
look
into
that
for
you
and
in
terms
of
relaxed
mowing
the
the
when
we
brought
the
paper
about
how
we
can
improve
habitats
and
things.
There's
an
initiative
called
godzaker
that
the
Church
of
England
have
been
following.
You
know
for
for
Close
Church
yards
try
and
encourage
practitioners
of
low
sites
to
actually
have
more
relaxed,
minor
nature
areas.
That's
something
we
actively
support.
J
So
while
the
city
is
responsible
for
Horticultural
maintenance
on
closed
Church
yards
and
we'd
be
more
than
happy
to
work
with
Community
teams
and
the
local
diocese,
if
they
agreed
I
was
to
be
able
to
relax
that
regime,
because
we'd
like
to
do
more
of
that,
and
it
can
look
fantastic
and
then,
in
terms
of
provision
for
girls
and
older
children.
What
I'm
gonna
do
I'm
going
to
hand
over
to
him?
J
If
that's
all
right,
because
Emma's
been
leading
on
a
particular
project
within
the
service
regarding
women's
safety
and
activities
for
young
people,.
I
Well,
firstly,
just
for
older
children
and
teenagers
in
general.
That
was
something
that
came
out
of
the
consultation
we
did
on
the
strategy
that
people
would
like
us
to
do
more.
So
one
of
the
actions
in
the
strategies
to
consult
teenagers
about
what
they'd
like
to
see
in
Parks,
so
we're
going
to
do
that.
We
haven't
done
it
yet,
but
that
is
in
our
short-term
plan
and
then,
with
specific
reference
to
teenage
girls.
I
There's
an
organization,
a
charity
called
make
space
for
girls
that
you
probably
know
of
who've
done
a
lot
of
work
to
identify
what
teenage
girls
are
interested
in
parks
and
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
the
facilities
nationally
that
are
provided
for
teenagers
tend
to
be
mostly
used
by
boys,
so
skateparks
and
multi-use
games
areas.
I
So
we're
very
aware
of
that
now
it's
been
shared
with
the
officers
who
work
on
developing
our
sites
and
we're
involved
in
the
ongoing
research
and
that
research
that
I
told
you
about
before
that
they're
going
to
create
a
design
guide
for
parks
that
will
acknowledge
the
importance
of
considering
the
needs
of
women
and
girls
when
designing
new
parts.
So
hopefully,
that's
all
coming
together
at
the
moment,
yeah,
okay,.
A
M
You
thank
you
chair.
The
bid
that
Council
Thompson
is
referring
to
is
the
Bowling
Club
in
in
Kirkland
Park,
which
you
know
Welsh
on
and
I
think
that
what
has
happened
there
is
that
during
the
the
inflation
busted
exercise
to
get
the
costs
back,
the
bid
has
changed
a
little
bit
and
been
added
on
to
and
there's
some
issues
around
some
cost
of
some
flooring
now
I,
don't
know
the
cost
of
flooring,
I'm,
not
a
flooring
salesman,
but
it
is
upsetting
some
members
around
that.
M
More
often,
quite
often,
cardiac
patients
are
diabetic
anyway,
which
would
mean
that
they
would
need
to
remove
water
more
rapidly
and
wicking
it
a
lot
of
the
time.
So
I
think
that
that
is
where
the
problem
comes
is
if
we're
advertising
our
toilets
are
open.
People
are
going
up
there
with
the
intention
of
that
is
a
good
place
to
go
because
they
can
use
the
label
and
then
finding
their
account.
That
is
a
big
problem
to
them.
M
So
we
need
to
be
clearer
about
our
toilets
and
clear
about
how
we
update
our
tires,
because
I
expect
what
has
happened
and
my
suspicion
is
that
there
are
either
hours
and
those
hours
are
only
summer
hours
and
they're
not
open
in
the
winter,
because
we've
only
just
recently
been
into
all
the
toilets
have
been
vandalized,
which
you
and
I
know
that
is
very
common
up
at
the
town
to
have
a
Toyota
funder
and
they've
been
closed
for
that
purpose.
M
But
the
website
or
the
information
wherever
we
give
it
out
wherever
this
person
has
got,
the
information
from
hasn't,
been
updated
and
that's
and
that's
the
problem.
But
we
have
to
be
smarter
at
that,
because,
particularly
the
time,
people
are
going
for
a
specific
purpose
and-
and
thirdly,
is
back
to
these
whips
on
these
small
trees.
M
You
know
I'm
not
sold
on
small
trees
being
put
in
and
I
do
think
that
you
could
have
been
initially
there
you'd
left
it
a
couple
of
years
and
put
larger
trees
in,
but
you
have
subsequently
particularly
non-ride
Park,
which
you
also
know
well
how
fenced
off
the
tree
planting
areas
how's
that
been
successful,
are
you
going
to
do
more
of
it?
I
was
a
bit
unsuccessful.
No
there's
a
fence
tomorrow
follow
all
the
cities.
There
is
a
morally
that
are
fenced
off,
but
the
toilets
are
specific
to
otley
need
it
actually.
J
So
I
mean
I'll
I'll
I
won't
dwell
too
much
on
toilets.
I'll
pick
up
those
issues.
The
toilets
are
up
and
closed
by
the
safer
leads
team.
The
mobile
teams
we
used
to
do
that
with
Pax
Patrol,
but
they've
been
integrated
in
with
that
team,
because
it's
more
efficient
to
you
know
integrate
those
mobile
patrols.
So
I'll
pick
that
up
and
find
out.
What's
going
on
with
that
and
I
mean
I,
don't
think
anything
anything
particular
defensive.
Oh
sorry,
yeah
the
fencing
off
the
trees
yeah.
J
So
what
we
do
is
if
the,
if
there's
a
block
of
planting
that
is
sufficiently
large
enough
to
be
fenced
off
with
rabbit
proof,
fencing.
For
example,
we
will
use
rabbit
crew
fencing
rather
than
put
individual
tree
spirals
around
them
to
protect
them
from
grazing,
because
it's
more
efficient,
and
so
so
it
does
depend
on
the
site
and
then
also
we've
had
one
or
two
areas
where
the
where
the
trees
have
been
broken
down
by
people
walking
across
the
site.
J
So
we
might
use
some
wiring
post
fencing
just
to
stop
people
doing
that
so
we've
just
this
is
only
our
third
season
of
this
initiative,
so
it
has
been.
It's
been
a
learning
curve,
you
know
and
we're
learning
about
what
works
and
what
doesn't
so.
We've
probably
done
more
fencing
this
year
than
we've
done
previously
and
we'll
evaluate
that
and
see
how
that
that's
worked
so
well.
That's
all
the
outcomes
are
positive.
Yeah.
K
Thank
you,
chair.
Apologies
for
coming
back
in
just
very
quickly
on
the
tree.
Fencing
I
know
that
we've
had
a
dog
injured,
so
is
it
worth
looking
at
putting
some
sort
of
I,
don't
know
tape
or
something
around
so
that
we
can
actually
warn
owners
that
there's
a
fence
there?
That's
just
a
very
quick
one.
My
actual
question
was
around
Nomo
May.
K
We
get
a
lot
of
complaints
in
no
more
may
and
I.
Just
think
that
there
are
areas
that
it's
suitable
for
and
areas
that
it's
less
suitable
for
the
areas
that
I
think
it's
less
suitable
for.
Are
the
retirement
life
complexes,
for
example,
where
you've
got
housebound
residents
who
then
look
out
for
six
or
eight
weeks
onto
what
they
consider
to
be?
K
You
know
an
unkempt
area
now
we
know
why
we're
doing
it
and
we
understand
the
reasoning
behind
it,
but
unfortunately
they
don't
always
understand
that
and
they
actually
want
to
look
out
onto
a
nicer
aspect.
So
I
think
that
it
doesn't
necessarily
work
in
those
areas.
I
also
think
that
it
doesn't
necessarily
work
in
our
cemeteries
and
graveyards,
because
people
want
to
go
and
visit
their
loved
ones,
and
they
don't
want
to
go
when
the
grass
is
too
high
or
then
we
cut
the
grass
and
it's
everywhere
and
they're
going
because
they're
grieving.
K
J
Yeah
so
I
mean
just
on
the
cemetery,
so
in
terms
of
I
mean
the
council
is
referring
to
claws,
Church
yards,
which
are
generally
what
you
generally
find
in
Close
Church
yards,
is
that
the
burials
are
probably
quite
a
lot
of
the
mid-victorian.
J
So
you
don't
generally
have
any
relatives
I'm
not
saying.
Oh,
that's
the
case
all
the
time,
but
most
of
the
graves
are
quite
people
generally,
not
don't
leave
mementos
and
things
because
of
the
families
of
of
it's
a
few
Generations
down
and
those
graves
are
no
longer
attended,
bylaws
families,
but
where
we
have
our
other
cemeteries.
J
And
we
don't.
We
don't
choose
not
to
just
cut
areas
in
me
just
as
part
of
that
regime.
What
we
do
have
is
we
identify
sites
that
have
a
relaxed
mowing
regime
and
sites
that
are
regularly
mowed.
So
if
there
are
any
sites
that
you
think
are
inappropriate
for
that
relaxed
mowing,
then
if
you
realize
that
with
us
we
can
look
into
that
and
look
at
the
reasons
why?
But,
alternatively,
too
we'd
like
to
do
more
relaxed
mowing.
J
So
if
there
are
any
sites
that
you
think
we
can
do
more
relaxed
mowing
on,
you
know
we'd
be
happy
to
accommodate
that
as
well.
So
you
know
we
do
try
and
get
the
right
balance
provision.
Oh
I
know,
but
in
terms
of
like
I
mean
a
lot
of
the
sheltered
housing.
Things
are
actually
managed
by
our
colleagues
in
housing.
J
We
manage
the
contract
on
their
behalf
and
they
tell
us
what
regime
they
would
like
on
optical
site,
and
we
Implement
that
so
quite
a
lot
of
it
is
some
of
the
decisions
have
taken
by
housing
managers
and-
and
we
will
take
our
advice
on
that.
Okay.
K
Just
very
quickly
sorry,
councilor
actor,
but
Pudsey
cemetery
is
a
primary
he's.
A
prime
example
of
it's,
a
very
it's.
A
Victorian
cemetery
is
that
you
know
we
do
have
a
lot
of
graves
that
that
are
no
longer
managed
intended
by
family,
but
it's
still
an
act,
a
working
Cemetery,
so
we
do
have
new
new
burials
as
well.
So
you
know
that
was
kind
of
you
know
that
that
and
and
others
I'm
sure
it
is
kind
of
there.
K
But
I
take
your
point
and
you
know
we
do
need
to
do
more,
relax
to
Mowing
and
we
do
need
to
take
more
care
of
the
environment
but,
as
I
say,
I
do
think
it
just
needs
to
be
I.
Don't
know
more
mindful
I'll
say,
but
you
know
it's
a
learning
curve
for
us
all,
because
this
is
a
journey
that
we've
only
been
doing
two
three
four
seasons
now
so
I
do
take
the
point
that
you
know
we
need
to
work
collaboratively
and
I.
K
Think
all
elected
members
have
maybe
got
a
you
know
a
a
place
to
to
to
to
sort
of
deal
with
that
and
work
with
with
everybody
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
Just
got
some
points
went
to
meet
myself,
whether
you
answer
them
I'm
fine,
if
you
want
to
part
them,
but
in
terms
of
section
106
monies
there's
no
doubt
that
that's
a
diminishing
resource,
no
because
for
good
or
for
bad
cell
is
replacing
it
and
it's
making
it
more
difficult.
So
I
do
think
we
need
to
develop
a
strategy
as
a
council
not
in
the
next
10
15
minutes,
but
to
how
I'm
going
to
replace
that
and
how
we're
going
to
get
access
to
that
money
because
it
is
becoming
more
and
more
difficult.
A
A
Now,
fine,
you
can
put
up
big
fences,
but
that
means
you've
then
not
got
the
free
movement.
So
it's
how
you
deal
with
that
and
I'm
sorry
against
an
example
here.
My
word:
we
put
a
large
a
massive
Boulder.
A
A
You
talked
about
the
plan
on
the
page
and
we
talked
about
it
at
the
chairs.
Brief
as
well.
Is
that
going
to
include
the
development
strategy
for
those
areas
as
well?
So
again,
if
you
talk
about
Golden,
Acre
Park,
that
would
definitely
have
something
about
trying
to
improve
the
car
parking
facilities.
A
The
fact
is
not
fundable
at
the
moment
is
fine
that,
but
you
know,
and
on
that
point,
is
there
any
way
we
can
help
member
involvement
in
the
quality
Park
assessments
that
councilor
can
was
talking
about,
so
that
we
can
all
understand
what's
happening
so,
in
other
words,
an
elected
member
one
or
all
three
are
invited
to
go
along.
It
is
actually
see
in
a
way
how
professional
your
staff
are
in
terms
of
carrying
out
those
assessments,
and
sometimes
the
local
perspective
might
shade
a
position
one
way
or
the
other.
A
It's
just
something
to
think
about,
and
I
think
that's
about
it.
Just
they
come
back
to
a
point
that
Council
Thompson
made
when
we
were
talking
about
the
additional
costs
there
was
one
hat
bed.
That's
been
returned
to
you,
because
the
costs
have
got
out
of
hand.
Now
one
of
the
things
I
think
that
might
be
happening
is
because
of
the
backlog.
It
was
already
agreed.
You
know
say
18
months
ago
that
this
was
what
was
going
to
be
done.
A
Those
were
the
prices
at
the
time
the
world
has
moved
on
and
because
you've
got
a
backlog.
You've
actually
got
with
building
up
a
lot
of
problems
for
that
and
I.
Don't
know
how
we
solved
that,
but
that
one
leads
to
the
other.
I
would
say
to
be
quite
honest:
it's
not
neces!
There's
nothing!
You've
done
wrong,
it's
just
the
backlogs
there
and
you
know
some
officers
in
your
department
were
better.
A
Shall
we
say
it
again:
a
quart
of
a
pint
pot,
others
you
know,
and
if
you
get
madrift
in
terms
of
that
they
were
very
good
at
spending
money
wisely
and
frugally
the
Yorkshire
tendency,
the
Scottish
bias
was
certainly
coming
out
on
occasions,
but
so
these
are
my
points
but
I'm
asking
you
to
answer
them.
A
N
Yes,
just
a
it's
just
a
few
words,
so
this
report
sets
out
the
provision
of
long-term
burial
supply
for
elite
city
council
owned
and
operated
cemeteries
in
2018,
the
council
adopted
the
plan
and,
over
the
last
15
years,
has
invested
in
additional
Cemetery
provision
to
ensure
that
the
city
isn't
has
an
adequate
supply
of
burial
space.
The
report
informed
scrutiny
of
the
current
position
and
what
the
future
plans
are
to
ensure
that
we
continue
to
meet
these
requirements.
I'll
pass
over
to
Sean
who'll
go
through
the
report.
Thank
you.
J
Okay,
so
it's
quite
a
sort
of
thing
to
report,
but
I'll
take
you
through
the
I'll.
Take
you
through
the
key
points
of
it.
So
so,
as
councilor
you
said,
2008
executive
board
received
a
report
that
reviewed
the
long-term
burial
Supply
in
the
city,
and
that
report
gave
options
for
meeting
that
demand
over
the
next
50
years.
J
So
the
table
in
in
paragraph
three
lays
out
the
position
in
2008.
So
at
that
time
we
had
a
shot
of
eight
and
a
half
thousand
new
grids
across
the
city,
and
that
was
equivalent
to
15
to
16
years
Supply,
and
you
can
see
from
that
from
the
table
that
we
actually
split
the
city
into
three
areas
that
capture
laws.
So
it's
East,
Northeast,
West,
North,
West,
South
Southeast
and
that's
the
model
that
we've
used
going
forward.
J
So
when
we
look
when,
when
executive
board
looked
at
that
table,
you
could
see
that
East
Northeast
only
had
at
that
time.
1
000
available
Graves,
and
that
was
because
hair
Hills
was
the
only
active
Cemetery
in
the
area,
and
so
there
was
quite
a
bit
of
pressure
in
terms
of
space
and
decisions.
J
A
decision
at
that
meeting
then
was
taken
to
actually
construct
new
cemeteries
at
winmar
and
helmet
near
Roundy,
and
when
mob
became
operational
on
July,
the
14th
elmick
got
planning
content,
but
has
not
since
been
developed
into
an
operational
Cemetery,
because
we've
got
capacity
at
Windmill.
J
Cemeteries
at
Gaff
and
kippax
were
also
extended,
and
this
had
the
impact
of
increasing
brutal
Supply
in
the
East
Northeast
area.
But
it
did
mean,
then,
that
we
needed
to
look
in
the
South
Southeast
area
of
the
city
so
to
address
that
shot
for
some
new
burial
Provisions.
We
provided
at
Huntley
Cemetery
and
along
with
phase
one
of
an
extension
at
cottonley
Cemetery.
So
the
current
position
now
is
in
table
five
and
when
you,
and
that
that
is
current
to
November
2022,
when
we
did
the
last
audit.
J
So
you
can
see
that
there's
an
average
that
we've
actually
got
a
shot
of
6
000
new
Graves
available
and
with
that
leaves
us
with
about
14.2
years
average
capacity,
but
going
forward.
Where
are
the
opportunities
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
50
years
provision
so
that
we
can
extend
cuttingly
further
onto
a
far
more
playing
pitch?
That
will
provide
another
630
Graves
and
that
would
add
seven
point
year,
7.1
years
to
the
South
Southeast
total,
giving
a
total
or
length
of
20
the
shot
of
21
years.
J
For
that
particular
area,
windmall
Cemetery
is
operational
and
the
first
five
hectares
has
been
acres
has
been
brought
into
use,
but
we
do
have
planning
consent
or
a
further
12
acres
up
there.
So
we
have
the
opportunity
to
to
bring
that
12
acres
into
operational
use.
J
If
we
did
that,
that
would
add
around
further
7
000
grooves
and
would
take
availability
past
54
years.
So
we
know
that
that
particular
area
probably
has
a
solution.
Now,
we've
also
got
the
Lambda
helmet
Lane
around
it,
that's
owned
by
the
council.
That's
a
seven
Acre
Site,
two
one
one
acre
of
it.
We
could
actively
bury
in
now.
J
We
actually
have
planning
content
for
all
that,
but
four
records
would
need
to
do
further
research
because
of
some
archaeological
evidence
and
potential
archaeological
artifacts
under
there
and
evidence
of
have
of
Years
Gone
by
so
we
would
need
to
do
some
further
work
on
that,
but
that
would
actually
give
us
a
further
594
Graves
had
another
34
years
ability
availability
so
again
that
North
North
East
area
is
probably
covered
off,
and
if
we
did
that
and
the
tabling
paragraph
nine
layers
out
what
the
effects
of
that
would
be.
J
J
Obviously,
when
you
look
at
it,
West
Northwest,
then,
is
the
one
with
16.6
years.
So
that's
probably
one
that
would
need
looking
at
in
the
medium
term,
and
that
is
some
a
piece
of
work
that
will
probably
get
picked
up
in
the
next
few
years
to
actually
take
that
forward.
But
you
can
see
and
I
hope
that
gives
scrutiny.
Some
comfort
that
we
are
on.
On
top
of
the
plan-
and
we
are
making
provision
to
make
sure
we've
got
adequate
amounts
of
burial
space.
C
A
couple
couple
of
questions
one
is
to
do
with
the
West
Northwest,
which
comes
under
our
neck
of
the
world,
on
on
to
the
normally
my
vote
by
the
way,
but
the
other
words
as
well
in
the
city
and-
and
there
are
many
but
you
know,
but
when
we
talk
about
the
faith
burials.
C
For
example,
if
someone
lives
in
West
Park
of
the
city
as
far
as
geisley,
let's
say,
and
if
they've
got
to
travel
from
from
Geisler
to
winmore,
it's
a
bit
of
a
journey
and
I.
If
I
talk
about
people
who
live
in
wheatwood
or
heading
to
Hyde,
Park,
London,
Woodhouse
and
so
on
so
forth.
So
there
is
an
issue,
and
that
issue
has
been
raised
on
numbers
of
occasions
before
2008
and
and
and
we're
still
in
a
discussion
to
talk
about
those
communities.
C
And
there
are
many
of
my
faith
members
from
the
Muslim
Community
who
live
in
West,
North
West,
not
only
the
pakistanis
or
the
kashmiris,
but
we've
got
such
a
huge
Arab
community
living
in
in
in
far
end
of
the
west
of
the
city,
so
and
I
think
it's
something
that
we
need
to
address.
This
particular
issue
with
regards
to
the
the
faith
burials
in
that
part
of
the
city
and
second,
with
regards
to
the
helmet
side,
I
I.
Think-
and
that's
that's
my
personal
opinion.
C
That
side
should
have
been
used
some
time
ago
and
and
we
need
to
talk
to
other
Faith
communities
and
and
see
if
we
can
find
a
way
forward
rather
than
having
a
site
which
has
not
been
used
for
for
a
number
of
years.
That
needs
to
be
utilized
so
Chad
once
again,
I've
got
great
concern
about
people
living
at
the
West
Northwest
part
of
the
city,
another
something
rather
than
having
a
midterm.
We
need
to
have
a
short-term,
addressing
position
where
people
can
feel
come
for
this.
C
If
you
bury
a
loved
one
and
then
obviously
10
years
down,
the
road
you'll
have
to
find
another
side.
So
it's
not
fair
on
those
communities.
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
proper
discussion
with
those
communities
across
West,
Northwest,
Sean.
J
So
I
I
mean
I,
understand
where
council
is
coming
from,
I
mean
I
will
say
all
our
cemeteries,
our
multi-fifth.
So
every
cemetery
is
open
to
anybody
of
any
particular
Faith
or
no
faith
to
actually
be
buried
in
and
we
have
just
shot
of
17
years
provision
in
the
West
Northwest
as
it
currently
stands.
But
there
is
a
piece
of
work
that
we
do
need
to
look
at.
You
know
ensuring
that
the
Western
offer
sells
adequate
Supply
to
take
us
up
to
that
50-year
ideal
solution.
J
So
so
taking
that
point
so
there
is
there
is
adequate
provision,
but
it
is
very
much
up
to
the
individuals
where
they
choose
to
be
buried
and,
and,
like
I
said
every
up
to
where
you
live
within
leads
any
of
those
cemeteries.
You
can
be
chosen
to
be
buried
in.
C
Jedi
absolutely
respect
and
and
welcome,
multi-faith
cemeteries
in
the
city,
but
I
do
not
know
of
any
anywhere
in
in
in
this
part
of
the
location
that
we
are
referring
to
West
Northwest
part
of
the
city.
If
there
are
any
multi-faith
cemeteries.
No,
yes,
absolutely
you
can
bury
anyone
anywhere,
but
I
rather
would
like
to
see
and
and
I
speak
behalf
of
many
faiths
in
the
city,
where
I
feel
that
they
will
feel
more
comfortable.
C
If
there
are
section
of
those
cemeteries
allocate
to
those
communities,
they
like
the
way
we
have
in
in
winmore
Cemetery,
so
I
think
that's
something
needs
needs
to
look
into
for
for
the
for
the
for
the
West
and
Northwest
part
of
the
city,
as
I
explained
earlier
on
traveling
from
those
areas
to
win
more
is
difficult
for
those
who
who
who
don't
have
ways
of
of
commuting
to
to
to
this
particular
side
and
especially
if
you
got
to
catch
buses,
I
think
it's
two
or
three
buses
before
you
can
go
from
wheatwood
headingley,
high,
Parks
or
London
to
this
particular
site
to
to
pay
your
respect
to
your
loved
ones.
J
H
Just
two
really
quick
ones
just
on
the
I
know
everyone's
talking
about
their
own
words,
so
I'll
bring
up
cuttingly
it
with
the
it
says,
subject
to
planning,
consent
and
consultation.
Is
there
a
time
to
go
on
that
consultation?
It's
not
something
that
I'm
completely
aware
of
on
I,
suppose
in
anywhere
in
the
city.
How
long
those
consultations
will
be
going
on
for
how
long
they'll
take
to
get
sort
of
community
opinions
on
things
and
then
just,
secondly,
with
it
being
on
a
form
of
playing
pitch
area?
H
How
are
you
working
out
sort
of
striking
the
balance
between
green
space
for
these
necessary
in
communities
like
cotton
League?
You
know,
I,
don't
know
if
you've
been
to
cottingley,
but
it's
straight
up
from
Main
Road.
You
know,
Green
Space
is
really
important
in
in
areas
like
that,
so
just
how
you
striking
that
balance
between
you
know
the
long-term
burial
plan
and
also
keeping
our
green
spaces
and
places
to
play.
J
So
it's
a
good
point,
so
I
mean
the
the
proposal
to
extend
the
potential
to
extend
cutting
the
cemetery
would
not
take
all
of
that
available
space.
It
would
just
take
a
as
a
pay
as
a
part
of
the
playing
pitch.
That's
at
the
back
of
the
site
effectively.
So
it's
not
taking.
Oh
it's
trying
to
find
a
balance
of
provision,
but
nevertheless
there
is
a
need
to
provide
burial
capacity
as
well.
So
it
is
a
trade-off
between
one
and
the
other,
but
not
exclusively
at
the
expense
of
recreation.
J
J
We
we,
the
scheme
itself,
hasn't
we've
got
some
preliminary
plan
and
we
undertook
some
preliminary
planning
advice
and
some
site
investigations.
It's
not
progressed
past
that
stage
yet,
but
I
can
assure
you
as
a
local
counselor,
that
that
you'd
be
fully
engaged
and
consulted
with
in
terms
of
its
development
and
how
we'd
want
to
send
sell
that
particular
idea
to
the
community
and
go
through
that
playing
process.
L
Thanks
Jay,
just
a
couple
of
questions
really
one:
how
do
you
not
you,
but
we
in
2008
we
had
8
500
new
Graves,
approximately,
which
was
equivalent
to
15
to
16
years
at
that
time.
L
L
L
Some
countries
take
up
that
was
you
Oh
I
thought
you
were
the
one
who
was
talking
about
one
of
the
councilors
was
talking
about
on
the
continent.
They
removed
the
bones
and
put
them
in
a
a
a
bolt
of
something.
Would
we
ever
get
to
that
point?
Do
you
think,
or
would
you
support
that
as
a
council,
because
we
don't
do
that
I,
don't
think,
do
we
they
sit
in
the
ground
for
hundreds
of
years.
J
Point
first,
so
this
this,
the
50-year
burial
plan
is
about
creating
enough
capacity
so
that
we
don't
need
to
do
that.
So
I'm
aware
that
places
that
are
in
like
in
London,
for
example,
that
is
an
option
that
they're
seriously
looking
at,
but
it's
not
something
that
we've
ever
considered
within
the
local
Authority
District,
because
we
do
have
a
plan
for
adequate
provision
tickets
forward
for
50
years,
and
so
that
that
is
available
in
terms
of
how
we
work
out
capacity.
J
So
we
work
out
the
average,
the
the
actual
numbers
of
burials
we've
come
new
Graves
that
we've
constructed
in
each
Cemetery
over
the
last
six
years.
We
take
an
average
of
that
and
we
just
divide
that
into
the
number
of
available
grave
spaces.
So
that
keeps
us
current
with
current
trends,
and
the
current
trend
is
that
the
number
of
burials
is
going
down
and
the
number
of
cremations
is
going
up.
J
But
obviously
you
get
some
specific
fifth
groups
where
burial
is
the
is
the
only
option
because
of
the
specific
fifth
requirements
and
the
requirement
to
provide
burial
space
for
low
specific
fish
is
actually
increasing.
Thank.
A
G
Thank
you
chair
just
briefly
just
follow
on
from
my
neighbor
Ami
regarding
the
south
south
east
provision.
I
know
thank
you
Sean
for
showing
that
there
is
some
provision
in
Cotton,
League
cemetery
and
con
PL
planning
due
to
planning
and
consultation,
but
you
know
also
hunslet's
not
far
from
Cottonwood
Lake
and
how
what's
the
provision
there
for
at
the
moment
for
burials
and
how
fast
you
know.
G
What's
your
prediction,
because
last
few
years
cemeteries
are
getting
filled
up,
you
know
because
I
went
to
win
more
Century
if
you
months
ago,
and
then
I
went
to
culturally
recently,
and
these
cemeteries
were
what
90
75
full.
So
how
fast
when
when
is
the
threshold,
then
we
start
going
into
the
next
process.
J
Just
just
to
answer
these
specific
questions,
so
home
sweet
cemetery's
got
30
years.
Provision
based
on
average
demand
currently
so
there's
quite
a
good
Supply
in
hunslet
cottonley
has
got
4.3.
He
has
provision
left
based
on
current
demand,
so
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
looking
to
move
forward
the
extension
for
cuttingly
as
well
as
that
in
terms
of
a
priority
in
terms
of
symmetry
expansion.
So
well.
That
is
something
that
we
will
be
actively
working
on.
J
K
Thank
you
chair.
Just
a
quick
Point
going
back
on
to
your
previous
comment.
Where
cremations
are
the
numbers
are
increasing?
K
Have
we
got
sufficient
capacity
around
the
city
to
ensure
that
the
loved
ones
from
a
particular
Community
can
actually
be
commemorated
within
their
Community,
because,
obviously
we
don't
have
crematoria
all
over
the
city.
We
only
have
certain
crematoria,
I,
don't
speak,
but
I
know
we
don't
have
anything
specific
in
in
Pudsey
and
we're
not
alone
it's
you
know,
I
think
it's
a
city-wide
thing.
K
You
know
we
go
out
to
lawnswood
or
or
to
rawden
and
and
then
we,
you
know
we
have
to
bring
our
loved
ones
somewhere
close
by
or
leave
them
there
and
I
just
think
that
if
our
loved
ones
are
brought
back
into
our
community
to
to
be
remembered
with
within
our
community,
you
know
that
would
be
a
good
thing,
particularly
as
you
say,
if,
if
cremation
numbers
are
increasing,
is
that
something
that
we've
got
to
plan
for.
J
And
so
I
mean
most
local
authorities
don't
have
more
than
one
Crematory
I
mean
in
Leeds
we're
quite
fortunate.
We
have
three,
you
know
spread
throughout
the
city
and
and
each
of
the
grounds
of
lost
Crematory
they're,
our
Memorial
Gardens.
So
we
do
offer
that
we
do
offer
the
option
for
families
to
Stew
the
remains
in
those
particular
Memorial
Gardens.
That's
also
that
streaming
ashes
is
also
available
at
any
one
of
our
up
cemeteries.
J
We
also
offer
you
can
have
your
cremated
remains
buried
in
a
small
plot,
so
it's
not
as
big
as
a
large
burial
plot,
but
we
do
offer
cremation
plots
so
again,
that's
an
option,
so
there's
lots
of
options
for
memorialization
that
we
do
offer
it's
all
available
on
our
website,
and
so
the
the
there
is
lots,
but
then
there's
also
lots
of
things
that
people
can
do
in
their
own
space
to
memorialize
their
family
and-
and
you
know
we
do
offer
you
know
there
are
other
options
for
Memorial
trees
and
things
like
that
in
in
some
parks.
A
Why
and
I
think
it
would
be
worthwhile
Consulting
on
those
at
the
same
time,
so
it
might
be
worthwhile
speaking
to
planning
so
that
when
they're
doing
it,
that
is
part
of
it
and
then
we
can
plan
accordingly.
The
disappointment
right
in
that
case
then
can
I,
basically
I
want
to
take
item
seven
and
eight
together.
I
am
suggesting
that
we
endorse
the
actions
and
the
progress
that's
been
set
out
and
we
comment
accordingly
and
thank
everybody.
A
He
is
the
epitome
of
man
and
boy
or
boy
and
man
when
he
started
because
he
started
off
I'm
shooting
shorts,
but
you
know
it.
It's
an
example,
I
think
to
a
lot
of
people
of
how
you
can
progress
up
through
the
council,
starting
as
it
were,
on
the
trainee
type
things
and
ending
up
where
you
are
can
I.
Thank
you
for
your
40
years.
As
yesterday.
You
know,
I'll
be
honest.
You
don't
Lucas,
so
you
you've
been
here
for
40
years.
I
mean
yeah.
A
Most
of
us
have
been
around
for
that
time
of
getting
bald
or
going
great
to
be
quite
Frank,
but
thank
you
for
yourselves
and
formally
I
would
like
to
put
on
the
minutes.
You
know
the
work
that
you've
done.
The
commitment
you've
given
to
the
city
and
no
doubt
you'll
complain
to
your
local
counselors
about
Parks
not
being
right,
and
you
can
something.
D
A
C
Richard
I
think
it's
important
to
mention
that
I
have
not
Sean
since
1995,
and
there
are
I
mean
there
are
many
people
who
started
early
years
and-
and
they
worked
really
closely
with
elected
members
and
Sean
is
one
of
those
individuals
who
listens
and
and
then
delivers
and
and
work
with
the
with
the
elected
members
and
to
make
sure
those
schemes
take
place.
C
The
last
scheme
that
we
had
in
our
neck
of
the
wood
was
where
we
were
having
some
trouble
with
the
with
The
Travelers
and
and
we
wanted
to
put
a
fence
across
the
estate
and
it
was
about
a
meter
or
so
one
kilometer
or
so
to
go
around
in
the
estate
just
bottom
end
of
the
Kirks
Road,
even
a
weapon.
So
quick.
C
If
we
want
to
have
it
good
offices
like
Sean
and
as
I
said,
knowing
someone
for
the
more
than
25
years
is
a
great
loss
to
our
Authority
losing
someone
like
shown.
But,
however,
it's
good
to
see
someone
who's
been
with
the
council
for
last
40
years,
and
now
he
will
have
a
peaceful
retirement.
So
thank
you,
Sean
for
everything
that
you
have
done
for.
On
behalf
of
our
local
residents,.
G
Yeah
just
briefly
and
then
what
I
said
at
the
beginning,
you
know
from
bottom
of
my
heart
Sean.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
What
you've
done
for
this
for
the
city
of
Leeds
and
you
have
made
a
massive
impact
on
our
green
spaces
in
Parks,
across
the
city
and
yes,
as
chair,
said,
because
you
started
from
the
bottom
and
then
went
to
the
top,
and
you
knew
what
were
the
issues
and
how
to
approach
people.
G
You
were
like
I
said
here
at
the
beginning,
you
were
very,
very
approachable
person
and
I
wish
you
all.
You
know,
wish
you
good
luck.
Whatever
your
future
retirement
is
gonna.
What
you
want
to
do,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
M
Well,
Sean,
you
certainly
don't
look
ready
for
retirement,
so
I
hope
you'll
be
joining
the
friends
of
none
right
on
your
first
day,
but
yeah
I
mean
work
out
from
the
bottom.
You've
always
been
very,
very
receptive
to
our
issues
and
guys
in
rodden
and
previously
around
it.
M
I
have
to
say
you
know
how
old
Council
are
Reef
managed
without
losing
two
very
senior
officers
in
as
many
months,
because
that's
what's
happened
with
parks
and
so
there'll
be
very
big
shoes
to
fill,
but
I'm
pleased
that
you
are
going
to
hopefully
enjoy
your
lengthy
retirement
functions.
K
Yes,
thank
you
in
my
capacity
as
Shadow
member
for
parks
and
Countryside
I'd
like
to
put
on
record
my
thanks,
and
you
know
the
help
and
guidance
that
you've
given
me
and
my
role
has
been-
has
been
Second.
To
None,
you
know,
I
think
we've
worked
very
closely
together.
We've
we've
collaborated
and
come
up
with
some
some
pretty
good
ideas,
and
you
know
I
wish
you
every
success
in
your
your
retirement,
every
happiness
and
long
mate
long
may
it
be.
We
definitely
don't
want
you
in
the
item.
Eight.
A
J
Well,
I'm
I'm
really
moved
it's.
It's
really
kind
of
you
and
thank
you
very
much.
I
mean
I
can
just
say
that
it's
been
an
absolute
privilege
to
work
for
Lee,
City
Council
in
the
Parks
and
Countryside
service.
It's
what
I
wanted
to
do
when
I
was
from
six
from
being
at
school.
I
was
lucky
enough
to
get
an
apprenticeship
at
16..
J
I
can
highly
recommend
it
to
everybody.
It's
brilliant
Ward
members
that
we
deal
with
brilliant.
The
community
is
fantastic
and
I've,
been
so
lucky
to
work
for
Leeds,
because
Leeds
have
some
real
Vision
with
Gardens
parks
and
green
spaces,
and
it's
been
brilliant.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Everybody.
